Neither of those hops is assertive like an American ale hop would be. Mandarina isn't Citra level fruity - it has floral, spicy character like Hallertau but with a subtle mandarin orange/citrusy character. Personally, I'd blend 50/50. Sounds good!

Sounds good! my experience with mandarina has been that it tastes pretty darn American even though its german. reminds me of cascade with more generic citrus than grapefruit.
